A competitive and balanced solution that offers solid performance at a reasonable price
I worked very closely with ExaGrid in Singapore. We are trying to build up the market for ExaGrid in Vietnam. We hope to be a big distributor for ExaGrid and that the picture will improve next year. Regarding the technology of ExaGrid, they have a landing zone, and now it's a very exhaustive solution, especially compared with Dell Data Domain and HPE. HPE offers normal storage without any special solution. Dell has DD Boost, and so the performance is high. On that basis, I rate the ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage number with an overall score of eight out of ten. People might be more familiar with Data Domain or StoreOnce. And if people want a professional solution, there are only three brands.

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the performance of the restore feature."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"Intelligent agent technology."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"It is an expensive product."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"User interface could be improved."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
